Landing gear safety devices have many important functions, among the most critical of which is to prevent the landing gear from retracting or collapsing while the aircraft is on the ground. Gear indicators are another important safety device. These indicators let the pilot know the position status of the landing gear, which can help

1. Weight Landing gear typically makes up between three and six percent of the total weight of an aircraft. Even though fixed gear is typically lighter than retractable gear, it increases aerodynamic drag when the aircraft is in flight. To address the challenge of landing gear weight, designers use materials that are lightweight but strong.

With increased complexity comes also a higher need for safety. Thus, railway infrastructure must use only the best technology. Intelligent railway design includes the use of switches and sensors to meet strict safety requirements and provide top-notch performance in real-time, even under the harshest conditions. What is a Snap Action Switch? Snap-action switches are an
